what does yiddish mean?

Question

is that a culture?

Answer 1

Yiddish (Yid. ייִדיש, yidish, = n. & adj. "Jewish") is a nonterritorial Germanic language spoken throughout the world and written with the Hebrew alphabet. It originated in the Ashkenazi culture that developed from about the 10th century in central and eastern Europe, and spread via emmigration to other continents. The name may initially have been an abbreviated form of ייִדיש־טײַטש yidish-taytsh (compare German jüdisch-deutsch = "Jewish German"). It has sometimes been referred to as Judeo-German, but that designation is disfavored in current linguistic discourse.

The general history and status of the Yiddish language are discussed below, with further detail provided in a series of separate articles on:

Yiddish dialects – as spoken in different regions of Europe
Yiddish morphology – the structural detail of the language
Yiddish orthography – the written representation of the language
Yiddish phonology – the elements of the spoken language

In common usage, the language is called מאַמע־לשון (mame-loshn = n. "mother tongue"), distinguishing it from biblical Hebrew and Aramaic which are collectively termed לשון־קודש (loshn-koydesh = n. "holy tongue"). The word yidish means Jewish both as a noun and as an adjective. Anglophone members of the Ashkenazi community also use the words Yiddish and Jewish synonymously, in both senses. The two terms thus interchangeably designate not only the language, but also other attributes of Ashkenazi culture. (For example, in general English language discussion of Yiddish culture reference is frequently made to such things as Yiddish cooking and Yiddish music.)

In Jewish folklore, a golem (גולם, sometimes [as in Yiddish] pronounced goilem) is an animated being which is crafted from inanimate material. In modern Hebrew the word golem denotes "fool", "silly", or even "stupid", "clue-less", and "dumb", and literally means "cocoon". The name appears to derive from the word gelem (גלם), which means "raw material".

Answer 6

As far as I know, it is a dialect of German developed and used by the European Jews. Didn't matter what country of origin the Jew came from, he spoke the dialect and could be understood by Jews everywhere.

A culture could easily be assigned to this dialect because it is totally the domain of the Jews. However, it is soon to becume a dead language
